Meet the principal

In another corner of the claustrophobic space, Newington and Penzance were stepping over the corpse of a monster. It just wanted to attack the two of them, but it took the opportunity to fight back and died instantly.

Newington is holding a strange-shaped dagger in his hand. If you look closely, the blade seems to be trembling slightly. This is a weapon he developed himself. It can rely on high-frequency vibrations to cut through the hardest objects. It has many advantages. It can be charged with standard magic stones. In order to prevent possible accidents, Newington did not put this dagger in a storage bag, but carried it with him.

Just now, it was by relying on this dagger that was as sharp as clay that they were able to successfully defeat this monster.

"It's a pity that the magic power dissipates very quickly, and it will soon turn into an ordinary dagger."

Newington said, the dagger in his hand soon stopped vibrating because the standard magic stone placed inside was exhausted.

In the Dead Realm, magic power will be consumed at an abnormal rate. This makes it difficult for mages to effectively construct a spell even if they empty their own bodies. The behavior of providing magic power to others like Reiner is the same. To consume one's own life.

Newington put away the dagger and glanced at the monster.

"This monster does not rely on any magic power to move in the dead realm, but it itself seems to be made by magic. Mr. Penzance, what do you think?"

He did not call Mr. Penzance, but still retained the honorific title.

"I have an idea, but it seems too scary."

Penzance also looked at the monster's body and then said.

"I once fought with Lord Carl David and Lord Lanchester Stanion to exterminate monsters in the demiplane. The enemies we encountered at that time were nearly infinite numbers of monsters that were not afraid of death. Their It seems to exist to destroy everything. If you kill one, ten more will immediately fill the gap. Whenever you use a kind of magic to kill them, all the monsters will become resistant to this magic, making them very difficult to deal with."

"Does such a monster really exist?"

Newington frowned slightly.

"That kind of monster is called Sauron's alien species by us."

Penzance's words made Newington slightly widen his eyes, seemingly surprised.

"Sauron's alien species!!?"

Newington had fought against some contaminated monsters before, but this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying monster as Sauron's alien species.

This monster, named after it destroyed an entire demiplane and forced the mage to destroy a star gate to protect the other demiplane, unexpectedly appeared quietly in the core area of ​​this ruins!

Looking at Newington who was in a state of shock, Penzance smiled slightly and seemed to be satisfied with the other person's expression.

"You are still too young. Although the Sauron mutant is scary, as long as you kill it before it proliferates, you don't have to worry too much."

"But this is a dead zone. Neither you nor I have the ability to fight against the large number of monsters."

Upon hearing this, Newington hurriedly argued that the reason why he was able to deal with the monster just now was because he discovered the ambushing monster in advance and had this extremely sharp dagger in his hand, but the next one would not be so lucky. .

"The top priority now is to find the exit and others. We should try to avoid fighting."

Penzance said,

He walked forward, looking for a way out of the claustrophobic space.

"etc."

Newington had no choice but to chase after him.

The two continued to travel through the intricate roads, but no more monsters were encountered.

Silence spread in the air. Newington vaguely remembered the time when he first explored the ruins. At that time, he was still a student in Penzance. There was nothing to say about that ruin. It was just an ordinary historical relic. Newington still remembers the tension and anticipation at that time.

However, that was also the only time Newington and Penzance explored the ruins together. In the following years, the two gradually drifted apart and eventually broke up. Newington left the Mercury Scale and joined the Council of Storms, and the focus of his research also changed. Alchemy turned into elements.

Newington remembers that at that time, Penzance led the team at the front, and he followed Penzance. At that time, Penzance had just been promoted to a high level, high-spirited, and had a strong desire to explore, and Newington was also known as He is a genius and has a proud heart.

Now, Penzance has developed a noticeable hunchback, his hair has turned gray, and even Newington has entered his twilight years.

If you think about it, that was decades ago.

Suddenly, Penzance stopped and signaled Newington to be silent.

"There is a situation."

he said, then peeked ahead.

Newington swallowed and followed Penzance's gaze.

Ahead is a damaged door, but the light has not been extinguished. You can see that there are not gray walls inside, but darkness.

Not feeling the breath of the creature, the two of them observed it for a while before confirming that there was no danger.

They walked into the house and saw a surprising sight.

The room was large and the lights were dim. You could see many container-like objects around the huge room, which contained unknown black liquid.

Surrounding the container, surrounding the circular room, was some kind of black object that resembled a huge silkworm cocoon. After careful counting, there were as many as thirty of them.

In the center of the room, there are some things that look like wreckage. Since they have been chewed and digested, it is impossible to tell what kind of creature the bones are.

"Are these the eggs of Sauron's alien species?"

Newington held the dagger and asked softly.

"It is possible that if such a large number of Sauron mutants hatch, then the creatures in this space will definitely be destroyed. If these Sauron mutants escape from here, it will inevitably have a devastating impact on the entire Eliot demiplane, as well as Causes harm to other demiplanes connected to it."

Penzance said, approaching one of the eggs.

"Give me the dagger."

"Wait a minute, the monsters inside these eggs may hatch out soon. It's too dangerous to do this!"

Newington did not hand over the dagger because he knew what Penzance was going to do.

"Give me."

Penzance ignored Newington's refusal and persisted in reaching out.

"It's like this every time, you don't care about other people's opinions at all!"

Newington was a little angry, but finally handed the dagger to Penzance.

"Don't blame me for not warning you. Some monsters may have the ability to kill in their eggs. Even if they are destroyed during the hatching process, they can still kill their prey!"

"Of course I know, Sari. I have killed more Sauron mutants than you have ever seen."

Penzance smiled, picked up the dagger, and immediately plunged it into one of the black eggs.
